“How much news information do you consume? Are you sure that the statements and claims they tell you are true? 
The piece of Art, I have drawn is called the empty room. This piece is about a person sitting in a dark room with a Loud Television playing a lot of information at one time. Some of the information could be true, others could be false. This piece contains only Graphite and brushing from a paint brush tip. I used only graphite to bring out the hollowness this room gives; I wanted to show how the person sitting down is consuming a lot of information at one time and didn’t question if these statements or claims are True. In the direction of where the person is facing, I used a lot of Erasers and brushes. On the darker outsides I used darker shades to show how empty and dark the room is. Information surrounds us in our everyday lives, from Television, Phones, papers etc. false words are used in each one to pull you in and make you believe what they’re telling you is true. I want to warn people to check the information before believing it No matter what it is.”
